I stared at my brother.

How'd he know? Maybe he doesn't.
Better play it safe.

"Excuse me?" I asked, staring at him.

Triton rolled his eyes.

"I know it's you. No one else knows about that incident besides Dad, Penelope, and you."

Wow he actually remembered the girl's name.

Color me impressed.

"Plus, no one other than children of the sea have bright sea green eyes." He walked closer to me. "I'm surprised no one else noticed."

Still going to deny. "I am from an alien planet dude. You know how much variety there is?"

Triton smirked. "Black hair, tan skin, sea green eyes, came to camp on the back of a pegasi who hadn't let anyone ride him since you left, except Omega and Alpha."

Dam it.

I wonder. Did Thalia ever get her dam T-shirt? I'll have to ask her.

I sighed. Triton's smile widened and he pulled me into a bear hug.

He buried his face in my hair. Jeez, if this is how he reacts how would our dad?

"Percy, it's really you." He whispered.

I wrapped my ams around him and returned the hug. "I'm really here. It's really me."

He pulled away. "Take off the mask. I want to see your face."

I put a hand on my mask and hesitated.

Triton raised an eyebrow. Rolling my eyes I removed the mask.

Laughing loudly Triton scooped me up and spun me around.

"It really is you baby sister."

I groaned. "Triton, I'm not a baby."

He nuzzled the side of my head. "Yeah you are. You're my little sister."

"Sh! Tri, I don't want anyone to know my identity." I hurriedly tried to shut him up realizing other campers could be around.

My brother released me from the hug and stared at me. "You need to tell Father."

"No. I'm telling him I'm alive and-"

Triton grabbed my shoulders. "No. You need to tell him something on top of that. That you forgive him or something. He's fading."

Tears were in his eyes. "Please. Percy. You need to tell him. I wouldn't be able to handle everything. And...I don't want him to fade. I love him."

I moved towards Triton who wrapped his arms around me again.

I grabbed ahold of his shirt. "I don't know what to do. I love him...but he hurt me so much."

Triton hummed. "If you love him do this. You can work on forgiving later but you won't be able to if he fades."

I nodded and released his shirt. Pulling away from me he glared at Luke.

I tried to stop him as he stalked over and picked Luke up by his shirt front.

Oh well. He was going to do it sometime or the other.

"I don't know who you are. But if you ever hurt my little sister I will rip you to pieces."

Luke nodded weakly, terrified by my protective brother. Triton dropped him before turning to me.

"Let's go."

I nodded and put my mask back on.

The two of us walked into the sea, his legs turning into twin tails.

I shifted my legs into a sea green tail, speckled with black.

Triton stared at me. "I thought you refused a tail."

"I did. Everyone in the Elite is a shape shifter."

He nodded. The two of us swam in relative silence, fish pausing in their lives to say hello to their prince.

One thing I'm glad about my identity being secret.

What? Triton asked.

The fish don't bother me.

How are they not sensing you? And I'm surprised Father hasn't yet.

Chaos covered up the Elite's auras. Dad can't sense me because of that.

Oh, okay. Let's go a bit faster. Race you.

He shot off. I smiled and swam after him, easily catching up.

You're faster than I remember.

It's been five years. A lot has changed.

Not really. Oh. You were talking about yourself weren't you?

I rolled my eyes.

The two of us were stopped by crossed spears. Triton and I floated in place.

"State your name and business." The guard said. Wait. That's.

"General Tyson. I am Chaotic Tide of the Chaotic Elite here to see Lord Poseidon." I looked at my brother.

"Tyson you big oaf let us in." I slapped Triton with my tail for that, resulting in Tyson and the other guard pointing their weapons at me.

I sighed. "That was not nice Triton. And I have information regarding his daughter."

Tyson perked up. "I'll take you to his chambers. He is not well."

You need to tell him.

I know. I will. And man is Tyson being all grown up.

It's an act. He's still a child. He just doesn't let anyone see anything other than a confidant leader.

So like me. I guess we get it from our dad then.

The three of us swam into the palace and through the complicated hallways, which I can never remember the way through.

Eventually we reached our father's chambers.

Tyson pushed open the door and swam in, followed by Triton then me.

Dad was laying on his bed, skin pale and hair white. His eyes were dull, only a small spark of life remained.

Amphitrite sat by his side running her hand along his arm.

"Father?" Triton swam over and looked down at him.

"Triton..." He began but coughed. "You need to be a good ruler. Your mother will help you."

"Daddy?" Tyson's voice wavered.

Dad smiled at him. "You're a good boy Tyson. Protect the oceans."

Tyson nodded.

Dad didn't pay attention to me, instead looking at the ceiling. "I'm sorry baby girl. I should have never acted that way towards you. I just hope you forgive me."

Triton looked at me. I swallowed and swam over to Dad and sat beside him.

I leaned over and gave him a hug, eliciting Tyson to point his weapon at me.

"She forgives you." I said quietly. "I forgive you Dad."

Okay be honest. Who got teary eyed?

Cause I did writing this. If my grandma happens to walk in her room she'll ask why I'm crying.

And yes I am in my grandma's room. I like it. She has a ceiling fan, a TV, and three ways out.

The door, the window, and the washroom which has a door to the outside.

I honestly spend more time in here than in my room, at least until she kicks me out then I'm in my room.

So...

Shout out to demigodwitch4 who answered correctly with yes.

I did not procrastinate.

Also about to go eat lunch with my grandma's side of the family.
